Ludwig Eberle was born the son of a stonemason in Grönenbach in Upper Swabia and completed an apprenticeship as a stonemason from 1896 to 1899. From 1900 to 1906 he studied at the Royal School of Applied Arts in Munich under Heinrich Waderé and Anton Pruska . From 1906 to 1914 he studied with Professors Erwin Kurz , Adolf von Hildebrand and Hermann Hahn at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich .
